i.e. so the iPad would appear pretty much as a typical Garmin multifunction display that is never removed and resistant to the elements ?

An update that I ordered the Wenger from what seemed to be the last place on earth that had them available....Amazon...but after a few days they canceled my order. Discontinued, all stock depleted. But recently a pristine used one showed up on eBay from a watch dealer...so I bought that...

Happened sometime during the week, one leg of 220 destroyed/melted at the boat connector (i.e. 110 house current works but 220 A/C units don't). Connection at boat was good...twisted and locked. No hints of trouble otherwise, looks perfect at dock pedestal end, no breakers tripped anywhere, A/C...

I like it... so went looking on the web and only source I find is Amazon .. with “one to three month” delivery ... WTF ?? Overstock.com had some but now out of stock... the curiosity with theirs was no numbers for the clock however.

Yep... on phone...remove from pocket, scroll to app icon, press icon, press location, click "week", note times, find next low or high, phone back in pocket, remember what you just found out, or you go thru this all again. With Tide Watch, rotate wrist and look. BTW if anyone by some...

Of course you can, and I do exactly that....but it's so convenient to just look at your wrist anytime and see a graphic of the tide state rather than fumbling with the phone you have to extract from your pocket. (realizing of course on an east coast voyage the tide state will change as you go...

For example I have a "Tide Watch" (presumably the company name) from the mid 90's that fits the bill. As the latest programmable date was 1999, these watches became unavailable as the year 2000 approached...an actual casualty of Y2K ! Regardless, as long as one programs in a year that is...

Tried calling Half Moon a few times and only get a fax beep...so I call their fax number and that one is disconnected ! Emailed them via the address on their Facebook page...maybe someone will respond. Any idea how far off the ICW the place is ?

At average speed of 5 knots (this, not in my regular boat). No generator in this one so I envision staying at perhaps Isle of Hope first night...but where to stay on next round that has a 30 amp power connection ? Also, does Cumberland Island have a day dock large enough for a 32 footer that...

Cruisair unit (8K BTU as I recall) compressor went out over 2 years ago. Rather than replace just the compressor as I had done successfully on another Crusair unit, I decided this time to replace the whole condenser assembly with a new Ocean Breeze equivalent. I was assured by Joe what they...

That was it folks. Been so long since that happened I forgot it was even possible. Now I wonder if I should just loosen the one screw on the port engine handle and line it up with the starboard handle or make the neutral adjustment at the transmission ?

OMG....Yes...I'll bet that's all it is... that would make perfect sense as I was making sure the tranny engagements worked right before I shut it down and turned off the shore power.... and now that I think about it I do have a vague memory of the port transmission lever being way out of...

Forgot to mention in last post that there are a couple of fuses involved in the system but they are both good and their receptacles are showing continuity at the wires as well. A wiring diagram of the start system from Viking would be nice but probably hopeless. The start system wiring not...

No....dead as a doornail when I press the start button in the engine room....even the voltmeter stays exactly on 13.5 volts, but curiously when attempting start via toggle switch at the helm, the voltmeter needle actually moves *up* a little (like to 14 volts)...probably meaningless....but the...

Nice, thanks everyone. Will let you know what I find out eventually.

the shore power was disconnected. So figure maybe batteries getting weak, reconnect shore power and it's starter still does nothing. Something similar happened years ago to the same engine (port) and the problem was major corrosion at the crimped fitting of the big red positive wire that...

Right, that's what I'm talking about...but it has more than one...there is a small black one on the board hidden from view under the start solenoid. But more likely it is the clear enclosure larger one you are talking about. https://www.flightsystems.com/mm5/graphics/00000001/56-2604.jpg...

Do you mean the clear "ice cube" one or one of the smaller black relays ? On machine tools those ice cube types are always plugged into a socket so slightly annoying this one is soldered on, as otherwise I could simply switch it with a known good one to see. I guess the theory is the plug...

1993 vintage MDL4 model. Main problem was the "on/off" red rocker would trip the instant I positioned the black rocker in either preheat or start modes. I finally traced the problem to a short in the start relay solenoid. (part 307-1031) Replaced that, and now preheat and starter work but...

Yep.... not to mention the fact that as previously mentioned, on a Cablemaster the boat connection end of the cord is hard wired inside the boat...there is no plug to swap.

Some people just can't resist blurting out , "I don't need no stinkin'______________" (fill in the blank) Makes themselves fell superior in some way I guess. To restate, this is not a big deal over nothing, but a small deal over something....a minor something but something...and also depends...

Yep, exactly.

Good grief.... with the Cablemaster with just the touch of toggle switch, you can pay out only the cable you need instead of lugging around an entire long cable. Plus it was "free" essentially....came with the boat as standard equipment*. Plus not having all the extra cable lying on deck...
